The result also revealed that their English achievement and English daily usage increased steadil y. The results from this study are important to Malaysia government in considering the decision to continue and extend this program in the future. For the English teachers who involved directly with this program, these positive results will make them feel proud and motivated to continue this program. 2012-06 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/15423/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/15423/1/TM_MOHD%20JUNAIDI%20MOHD%20MUKHTAR%20ED%2012_5.PDF text en public mphil masters Universiti Teknologi MARA Faculty of Education Beh, Kian Lim (Dr.)
